What are the chances of getting Huntington's if one of your parents are heterozygous?
If one of your parents is heterozygous for Huntington's disease, you have a 50% chance of inheriting the mutated gene responsible for the condition. This is because Huntington's is an autosomal dominant disorder, meaning that only one copy of the mutated gene is needed to develop the disease. If you inherit the normal allele from the heterozygous parent, you won't develop the disease.

How do you inherit Huntington's?
Huntingtons disease is inherited from your parents
If purple flower color is dominant over white flower color how can two purple flowered parents produce while flowered offspring?
It can happen when both parents are a heterozygous
Can you give me a sentence using the word heterozygous?
Heterozygous means inheriting different genes from your parents. That is a heterozygous trait, not a homozygous one.
If children with blood group O and a what could be the blood group of parents?
both parents could be A heterozygous or one A heterozygous and the other O
If both parents are heterozygous for polydactyly what percentage of offspring will exhibit polydactyly?
There is a 25% chance that the offspring will exhibit polydactyly if both parents are heterozygous for the trait.
What are the chances that two parents who are heterozygous dominant for two?
If both parents are heterozygous dominant for two traits (e.g., AaBb), the chances of their offspring exhibiting different combinations of these traits can be analyzed using a Punnett square. Each parent can produce four types of gametes (AB, Ab, aB, ab), leading to a 16-cell Punnett square. The probability of specific trait combinations can be calculated from this square, revealing that the expected phenotypic ratio for two independently assorting traits is typically 9:3:3:1 for the dominant and recessive traits. Thus, the specific chances depend on the traits in question.
What is the probability that the children will be heterozygous?
Being born with six fingers is actually a dominant trait and the probability of the children would be 75% with six fingers and 25% with five fingers if both parents were heterozygous for that trait. If both parents were homozygous dominant for that trait then there is a 100% probability of the children being born with six fingers.
Why do children have characteristics of both their mother and father?
Children have similar characteristic's to their parents because when they are conceived, both of the parents genes unify to create a new set of characteristic'd depending on dominant and recessive traits. For example, Jane and Henry find out they are having a baby. Jane has homozygous blue eyes whilst Henry has heterozygous brown eyes. The chances are that their baby will either have 50% homozygous blue eyes or 50% heterozygous brown eyes.
What causes huningtons disease?
Huntingtons disease is a genetic/inherited diesease. It is caused by a faulty allele (a dominant one), which can be inherited by parents. Spontanoius mutations may also occur which would cause the faulty gene and therefore huntingtons disorder.
Is AA an homozygous or an heterozygous?
AA could be either homozygous or heterozygous, depending on whether the individual inherited the same allele (A) from both parents (homozygous) or different alleles (Aa) from each parent (heterozygous).
What are the chances of inheriting two p alleles?
The chances of inheriting two p alleles depend on the genetic makeup of the parents. If both parents are heterozygous for the p allele (Pp), there is a 25% chance their offspring will inherit two p alleles (pp). If one parent is homozygous dominant (PP) and the other is homozygous recessive (pp), the offspring will not inherit two p alleles. Thus, the inheritance pattern is influenced by the genotypes of the parents.
